Spring 2021
As a way to close out the first semester of the Quechua workshop, we'd like to invite you to stream with us the movie Yawar Mallku. This 1969 movie is incredible for many reasons, the least of which is that it is filmed in the communities in the highlands and the main language of the movie is Quechua. The film also had important political and social ramifications in Bolivia.
The film is in Quechua with Spanish subtitles.
The plan is to stream the movie together (it's only 70 minutes) and leave time for discussion.
Please email Felice Physioc (fphysioc@princeton.edu) if you have any questions.

Classics major Erica Choi is speaking at Princeton Research Day, a celebration of the research and creative endeavors of undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and other non-faculty researchers. The event is free and open to the public.
“Hecuba” is a lush and experimental rock-leaning album based on Euripides’ tragedy of the same name. Written around 424 BCE in Athens, Hecuba is a savage story of revenge in which the disgraced queen of Troy, Hecuba, with her city razed and her children murdered, descends from nobility to primal violence. A week before the national release on May 13, Oracle Hysterical will debut the album at Taplin Auditorium in Princeton, with a post-performance discussion featuring Brooke Holmes and Josh Billings.
Part band, part book club, Oracle Hysterical combines eclectic musical influences with literary breadth. All members of the group perform and compose, with each project developed collectively.
Drawing on his degree in the classics and years of writing and performing, Joe has created an award-winning 30 minute long composition which deconstructs the story of The Odyssey in song, invoking the spirit of the ancient Greek bards who originally brought forth the timeless stories of Odysseus and the heroes of the Trojan War, while making the poem and the circumstances of its creation accessible to modern audiences.
2017-2018 Fall
This workshop will put classical reception studies in dialogue with recent work on queer temporality, exploring how queer notions of time and history that contest or complicate forms of historicism may enrich work on ancient sexualities and their receptions.
